Responding to the claim by Conservative Justice spokesman John Lamont, MSP
that Catholic schools contribute to the "state-sponsored conditioning of
sectarian attitudes" Catholic Church spokesman Peter Kearney, said;
 
"These remarks are both inflammatory and insensitive, the Catholic Church
rejects and repudiates them entirely. As a matter of urgency the
Conservative Party should issue a reassurance to Scotland's Catholics that
Catholic schools enjoy the support of the Conservative Party."
